Season Two

Elena and Stefan go to the lake house in Crying Wolf in order to temporarily escape their numerous crises and enjoy a romantic getaway.

By chance, Elena and Stefan discovered a secret storage-room, stocked with various weapons intended to be used against vampires. All of it was apparently kept there by Elena's father, Grayson Gilbert. Also hidden there were additional volumes of Johnathan Gilbert's journals. Since Grayson's brother, John Gilbert, had not moved the contents -- especially the journals -- to a more secure location, he may not have even known of the hiding place and that the items were being stored in the vacation home.

Tyler takes Brady to the lake house during the same time and Stefan kills Brady by removing his heart.
